toddler east infection

My 19 month dd has a severe yeast infection which the dr confirmed. She told me to do an OTC anti fungal and aquaphor every diaper change. We are now 6 days out and still no improvement. Called yesterday and they said to keep treating. Has anyone had any luck with types of home remedies or other suggestions. We've tried different diapers, creams, leaving diaper off (for as long as we can which is typically only 5 mins) soaking in a tub. If you saw it your thibk he'd be in a world of pain but she isn't. I can see that it bothers her bc when it's time to change she hands me her creams and just lays there while i cake it on. Help!

You can also give probiotics like culturelle kids packets or florajen for kids to help fight the yeast (I keep ds on a daily probiotic because he is yeast-prone), cut out any refined carbs like white breads, sweets, white rice, etc and replace it with whole grains because a yeast infection is usually caused by an overgrowth of yeast in the body and refined carbs feed the yeast, and someone suggested to me putting plain yogurt on the rash because the live cultures in it will attack the yeast and the yogurt will soothe the bum. But I am with Harmony that seeing another doctor will help too because you might need some prescription anti-fungal cream like Nystatin.

My son has had a couple of yeast infections that seemed to take forever to clear up. We treated with Lotrimin, plenty of air time and bath/soaking for 20 min with 1 cup of apple cider vinegar in tub. I think the vinegar really helped after a few days of adding it to his bath.

My son had one when he was really little. It seemed like it took for ever to clear up, but what really helped was Walmart brand maximum strength desitin and lotramin. I was told to use a&d and lotramin but when that didn't work I started looking for other options and my sister-in-law told me to use desitin because the yeast feeds on petroleum.
